When Mike Gundy gets upset, he starts making threats.
Following a loss to Wisconsin in the Guaranteed Rate Bowl, the Oklahoma State head coach made headlines with his comments during a news conference. His team made a comeback in the game, but still fell short as they lost to Wisconsin 24-17.
The Cowboys lost four of five to close out the regular season. The team relied on OSU freshman quarterback Garret Rangel who tossed for 229 yards and two touchdowns in place of Spencer Sanders, who entered the transfer portal.
Gundy would soon become irate when he got asked about staff changes.
“Staff changes are starting to happen earlier and earlier now with the portal being a thing, do you anticipate making any changes to your staff between now and next season?” asked Marshall Scott, of Pistols Firing.
“Do you think I would tell you about staff changes?” Gundy asked before the reporter responded, “no.” The coach then followed up with, “Then why would you ask?”
The reporter then responded with, “I have to it’s my job.”

That’s when Gundy threatened to cut the reporter’s access to the team.
“OK, well I might have to cut you out. I mean, don’t be an a**. Really? I mean, those are people’s lives man, those are people’s families, right? OK, don’t mess with people’s families. Let’s do this the right way. You with me on this? I mean, it’s not fair to people’s families, man. And I’m not mad about the game, I just don’t like ignorance,” Gundy said.
The loss dropped Oklahoma State to 7-6 for the season. OSU started the season 6-1 before collapsing down the stretch.
